Headline Acts Announced:

We are so happy to welcome back to the festival one of our favorite bands, The Steel City Rovers! Steel City Rovers are Celtibilly: the cross-pollination of the Celtic and North American traditions.  Commanding and dynamic performers, this act is a blend of both seasoned and young talent who are simply electric to witness in person.

All the way from Orange County California, a band that doesn’t get here often but is a must see when they do come to town, The Fenians! For over thirty-five years, The Fenians have delivered their potent mix of traditional Irish folk and good old rock-n-roll all across the USA and Ireland.

In 2001 a group of musicians from the Elmira- Corning Region began meeting up to play informal trad sessions in local pubs and coffee shops. Over the years the band Kilrush  evolved and began to play a more contemporary style, infusing the influences of other artists and genres to reflect the Irish-American experience as “Triple Distilled Celtic Rock”.

The Prodigals are one of the iconic Celtic rock bands. They have released ten albums, the most recent in 2022, and have headlined major venues across the United States and Ireland. The Prodigals’ sound retains authentic Irish traditional melodic roots, while embracing eclectic world rhythms infused with NYC energy.
